Training Week 7: NuttZo Power Fuel No-Bakes

Marathon training is often accompanied by a few "side effects" such as moderate random chafing, excessive foam rolling and runger (a.k.a. "running hunger"). Here is my solution to this week's case of the runger!

While I'm not a passionate baker, I do enjoy eating baked goods and am a firm believer that everything is better homemade. I prefer to keep my recipes simple and, well, it doesn't get much more simplified than no-bake cookies!

As a proud 2016 NuttZo Ambassador — seriously, they are so good to us — I want to share with you my all-time favorite no-bake cookie recipe made with NuttZo's Chocolate Power Fuel.

NuttZo Power Fuel No-Bakes

Melt butter on medium heat and stir occasionally. I used plain old store-bought butter today. Once the butter is almost completely melted, add sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Stir ingredients until well combined.

Bring mixture to a boil and allow to boil for 1 minute. Continue stirring.

Remove from heat. Add NuttZo Power Fuel and stir until the mixture has a smooth consistency. That's the last of our jar!

02/17 Wednesday - Long Run: 14.01 mi, 02:03 @ 08:46 avg pace. Windy and icy but enjoyable run overall. I did my best to squeeze in key training runs this week as next week will be up in the air! Normal training will return in a week or so.

02/18 Thursday - Off. Recovering from the crammed workouts earlier in the week.
